So, sometimes you just want a dumb show to keep you company. I like to have a little something on when I'm doing homework stuff, because I don't do well with no distractions. I think it keeps me less anxious? But I need something sorta dumb on so that I don't have to pay too much attention.

Anyway, my choice as of late (on Netflix) is Charmed. So dumb this show, but that makes it easy to follow and just interesting enough. Sometimes I also watch "I Shouldn't Be Alive" or "Bones." If I finish Charmed and I'm not done yet, I'll give Hoarders a try, but I don't want to be distracted by needing to clean. My hovel has to accepted for the time being.

Right now, it's Supernatural. Occasionally I miss something plot-wise, but usually it doesn't require much attention and there are eight seasons of it (I'm only on season two, so maybe it starts to suck after a while, I don't know).

I was thinking about starting a thread about this! TV is like the radio for me a lot of the time. I noticed they added all of Melrose Place to Netflix recently, so that's been my background show lately. Everything is so over-the-top that you don't even have to look up (though you'd be missing out on all the awesome clothes and hair).

I'm not really one to go all fan girl, but he is one swoon worthy man. Factor in my 30 year 007 love fest, and I'm just a goner.

If there is ever anything bad about him, like how Sean Connery and Cary Grant are/were apparently mysogynistic crassholes, I do not want to know.

Hoarders creeps me out because it is so forking exploitive. They don't ever seem able to help people get to a better mental place, so what's the point? I mean what's in it for the people on the show? They open themselves up to gawking, scorn, and ridicule, but to no real benefit to themselves, it seems. Very depressing.

Old seasons of SVU, old seasons of NCIS, or old seasons of Big Bang Theory. At least one of the three is on at any given time and I've probably seen it so it can be on without me having to pay attention to it. If I'm doing a major housecleaning I put on a movie I've seen a billion times.

Sometimes when I can't sleep, I will put a show on while I lie on the couch and try to fall asleep. It doesn't seem like it should work, but it does, especially if it's a show I really like. Lately I've been rewatching Arrested Development.

The Food Network when cookin' (unless a movie I want to pay half attention to is on), TCM when nothing else is on, sometimes the radio stations when I'm bathing or just want some background noise (Jukebox classics, 70's hits, 80s hits lately because I'm feeling nostalgic, but this changes all the time) and the fireplace (nighttime) and aquarium (in daytime) when I need to concentrate but happen to be sitting in front of the TV.

At my old apartment it was always infomercials and CNN but because my office has moved away from the television, I notice my choices have changed. Now I NEVER watch infomercials or CNN. I do wonder, sometimes, what the infomercial world is doing without me.
